When there was a bipartisan agreement on a number of issues that the MAGAts poo pooed. When there are numerous members who still insist on Bidens impeachment and went 2 rounds to impeach Mayorkis. I think the olive branch should come from those principled conservatives who are tired of the crazy that took over their party.

Duodenum Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 20 hours ago, Wiggums said: He was trying sooo hard not to stumble. Poor guy Trump guilty of anything worth noting yet? No? The dems better hit him with something big soon, before election time. Don't know what you consider note worthy but it's defamation, fraud, falsifying business records, and sexual assault just in the past 2 years lol. Don't know how anyone can support a politician guilty of all that. Then there's this... I'll take old Biden everyday of the week. He's old but at least he isn't a danger to the US. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree...saying that Dems should offer an olive branch is like saying you should give a cookie to a toddler who's throwing a tantrum..... The Dems already offered the olive branch in the form of the border bill and like the children they are, republicans threw it back in their faces... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it. I thought that was a brilliant move on his and his lawyers part. Show up every day to court and play your music to the jury. People are less likely to rule against you if you humanize yourself to them. It's easier to rule against a name than it is an actual person that you've connected with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way I can see doing that to a sitting president is to cut his campaign funding off. If they did that and he makes a fuss on his way out, they risk alienating his voters.

NewbieCanuckFan Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) A typical GOPer. What an a-hole. And people wonder why a senile old man like Sleepy Joe can beat another a-hole like Dotard? Indepent. voters (the key to winning a Presidential election) are going to go with the person that should be in a nursing home vs an a-hole.

Like if Kelly Sutherland was one of the refs for a Canucks game. If the wife of one of Dotard drug addled twit sons becomes co-head of the RNC, maybe she'll use that power to siphon off GOP funds to pay for her father-in-law lawsuits. Less money for campaign ads might make a difference in close races. Edited February 23 by NewbieCanuckFan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't, there will be a competent VP ready to step in for him....despite what Republicans (and the polls) might say. Both she and the 81 year old are still far superior choices than the 77 year old, lying, cheating, sexual predator on the other side of the ticket. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimist Prime Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I am slightly confused on a general concept with the USA. Can a convicted criminal run for President? I know trump is trying to say as a president he couldn't commit any crimes: the old King Charles the First argument (as a result of which he lost his head), but that isn't my question. If trump is found guilty of a crime or crimes, is he still eligible to run? I thought not, but maybe I am wrong. I know there is a difference between criminal court and civil court: thus far all of his guilty verdicts are in civil court, except the fraud stuff in New York. So maybe it is a federal Crime that would prohibit him from running? Or maybe any convict can run? THis is where I am confused. EDIT: WOW turns out convicted criminals can still run for President of the USA. huh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ergo, they can. It took a Donald Trump presidency for a lot of these loopholes to become apparent. Prior to him, the idea of a convicted felon being POTUS was unthinkable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have, and at the time DID think and say out loud that there is no way they elect a guy who talked like that about women (the TMZ BUS tape: 'i grab em by the 9ussy') yet there he was, President, in the land of the thief, home of the slave. I was mostly in shock for half his term in office. Then things got really bad. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you were involved in the old CDC thread that reached 5k pages, but early on there was a lot of talk from the posters who liked his "tell it like it is" style (which was actually more of a "tell it like it isn't") that once elected, he would become "presidential".... Several of us with a little more insight into human nature (and more experience with scumbags) were in the, "When someone tells you who they are, believe them" camp. We turned out to be 100% correct on that front.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is, I was the opposite. I stayed away from CT, because I was constantly getting into "fights" with people who wanted to fire everyone, or trade everyone.... The amount of defending of Alain Vigneault that I did back in the day was probably triple the defending I do of any politician in OT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RupertKBD Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Incoming Truth Social rant on the "failing" Palm Beach Post..... https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/politics/trump-s-hometown-newspaper-lays-into-ex-president-and-urges-his-neighbors-to-vote-biden/ar-BB1iMblL?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=415542897f6e4f42ba3277ec23ff4549&ei=18 Quote "It’s time for those who remain undecided to look with a set of fresh eyes at the evidence amassing before them," the editors wrote. "As annoying as the acid taunts of pundits and penmen about the former President may strike you, cast that rhetoric aside for a minute and evaluate the evidence," they added. "And we use the word 'evidence' advisedly, because aside from candidate Trump’s own crowd-stirring lies about the elections and an abundance of audio and video recordings going back years, there’s now a growing record of court testimony and documentation, tested by argument and counterargument, that is laying itself out before us." Judges and juries have also found the evidence against Trump overwhelming and penalized him more than a half-billion dollars, with interest, in civil cases where he's been found liable for fraud, sexual abuse and defamation, and he faces criminal indictments alleging that he attempted to unlawfully overturn his election loss, improperly kept classified materials and illegally paid off a porn actress to cover up an extramarital affair. "Trump has openly demonstrated why, even if you put character aside — which we can’t — the nation would have much to fear from his second term," the editors wrote.

I wonder if he's doing it because he's being paid by Putin or if it's simply because of how evil he is.

I think the party is compromised, but I can see Tuberville doing this out of his convictions. Another line of thinking is that he was holding these positions vacant so the military would not be in a ready state to stop another Jan 6 attempt, or there would be vacancies the Republicans can fill with their own loyalists once Trump wins. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
